Smile How to mount new Griffin radiator

Well I jsut got the right radiator, I ahd a be cool one, but it was for a big block, not small block. So now I have a 24x19 chevy radiator. How do I go about mounting this thing? I ahve a few ideas, but if any of you have any ideas for a nice lookign bracket, please tell.

Oh yea, I ahve a chance to buy a 360 for 800 from my brother. Its fairly stock, cam/headers. Is it worth it? It has soem miles on it, but has new bearings/rings. Thanks everyone

you can do the easy thing, and have some mounts like what comes on a stock radiator.... the wings..... soldered on for a couple of bucks.

The mounts will most likely have to be fabricated. Usually made in a shallow "U" configuration and located on the tanks not the tube section close to the welds to eliminate side to side movement. The 2 row 1" tubes cool very well. You will also want rubber isolators between the mounts and the tanks.
